I don't think they'll let me paint like Zbukvic (!) but if any brushes could, these are they.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014Size: Size 8, 12, 10Color: Perla Round & Travel RoundVerified PurchaseThese brushes look and feel amazing. Though, I have not yet tested them out. I made the purchase after watching Joseph Zbukvic on "Put Some Colour in Your Life" and he talked about the brushes he used for 18+ years. Amazon had these listed at $55, however, I saw a Used - Like New listing by Amazon Warehouse for $24, and only one in stock. How could I not instantly buy them at that price? They arrived and were brand new. No damage, not used, and were still in their casing. How lucky am I? Great deal. I love the travel brush the most. It is able to pull apart and the bottom of the brush goes over the top of the brush to create a casing around the brush. I definitely am going to look for more the travel brushes.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021Size: Size 8, 12, 10Color: Perla Round & Travel RoundVerified PurchaseI know that paint brushes are a personal preference, but I have to say that I have tried a lot in the last 4 years I have been painting expensive and inexpensive and this at the current moment is my absolute favorite set of brushes. They hold a ton of water, they come to a very fine point, the handle is very comfortable.

The size 10 travel brush has become my go-to brush of choice for everything! This set is great for people just starting out and who want to invest in quality. For more experienced painters, this might just turn you into a brush snob! Give them a try.

Size: Size 8, 16, 2Color: Clasico Bright & RoundVerified PurchaseJ’adore la marque escoda.
Mais je suis déçu d’un pinceau de ce set. Les poils sont ébouriffés, il y a des poils trop longs à la pointe. À l’usage, il est horrible, difficile d’en tirer quelque chose. Donc je pense qu’il a vraiment un défaut de fabrication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great spring of the bristle
Size: Size 8, 16, 2Color: Clasico Bright & RoundVerified PurchaseBeautiful! The wood, the finishing, the bristles, everything is beautiful. A pleasure to start a painting with those. The bristles will hold much paint and show very pleasant strokes, if any. I rather do not favor any brand but I have to say that Escoda Barcelona never disappointed my artist’s expectations :)
